1 Gold Standard for the Global Goals Risks & Capacities Guideline for Land Use & Forest projects Version 1 July 2017 Template Documents Risks & Capacities Template SECTION A. INTRODUCTION The Risk & Capacities guideline is used to assess performance s related to the project s non-delivery or reversal of greenhouse gas benefits and other SDG Impacts. It does not consider other s (e.g., social impacts or environmental s), which remain covered in the Gold Standard for the Global Goals Safeguarding Principles & Requirements Assessment instead. HOW TO READ THE DOCUMENT Italics are used to improve the readability and understanding. Shall indicates requirements that must be followed in order to conform. APPLICABILITY The guideline shall be applied by all Gold Standard Land Use & Forests projects, including smallholder and microscope projects, in conjunction with the Gold Standard LU&F Activity Requirements. PURPOSE The Risks & Capacities Guideline is included to ensure Project Developers (particularly those with less experience of Gold Standard or of implementing Land Use & Forests projects) fully consider the projects s and to articulate these in a clear and transparent manner. It also encourages thought on proposed mitigation and timing thereof. It is further intended to identify high activities where little or no mitigation has been proposed and/or implemented. This will inform the Gold Standard secretariat and the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) when deciding upon Gold Standard certification. ASSURANCE The role of the GS-VVB involves:
2 (a) Checking that the guideline has been completed to a reasonable level of detail and that the weightings applied are also reasonable, AND (b) Cross-checking any major s perceived by the auditor either in desk review or field visit against the guideline, AND (c) Checking that any mitigation proposed by the project owner for a given time period are in place. These may lead to Corrective Action Requests (CARs) (absence of completion of form or any perceived being missed) or Forward Action Request (FARs) (for example mitigation proposed not in place where impacts are low). The guideline applies a scoring system that assesses pre-defined categories and determines whether the s of a project are acceptable[1] to Gold Standard or whether mitigation shall be adopted. The scoring system provides the structure for a broad and objective analysis and thus allows comparable assessment of s among all land-use project types. The scoring system is based on a transparent quantitative approach that assigns scores for high, medium and low, based on defined thresholds for a range of categories. A high rating indicates that the respective s are not acceptable to Gold Standard without mitigation. The guideline defines five major categories that influence the long term implementation of projects: 1. s 2. Political s 3. Project Management s 4. Financial s 5. Market s Each category is further subddivided into several sub-categories. The s scoring system combines three factors that determine the overall per sub-category: 1. The probability of a damaging event to occur: refers to the question how likely is a certain event to occur over the project crediting period. 2. The impact of a damaging event on carbon pools (e.g., crops, trees, soil) and related greenhouse gas emissions: indicates the power of an event of a specific subdcategory to destroy or to harm carbon pools. 3. The spatial scale of a damaging event: relates to whether the event affects the entire project area or only parts thereof. For every sub-category, the factor probability is rated high ( 3), medium ( 2), low ( 1), or not applicable ( 0) and justification for the rating shall be provided by the project owner. For every sub-category, the factors impact and scale is rated high ( 3), medium ( 2) or low ( 1) and justification for the rating shall be provided by the project owner. The scores shall be selected based on the long-term implementation of the project. These factors are multiplied to reflect the actual for the subdcategory to the overall performance of the project. In other words, if e.g., fire probability is medium (score of 2) and its impact on the trees is destructive/high (score of 3), the combined would require a mitigation measure. However, the scale of this event is decisive here, e.g. the medium fire probability and its high impact would not reach a high overall rating if the event effects only a small part (special scale) of project area (score of 1) and thus does not lead to significant reversals of sequestered carbon overall (total score of 6). The multiplication of probability, impact and scale leads to a score between 0 and designates s for which mitigation are not mandatory under Gold Standard (though still recommended) indicates that s are not acceptable and mitigation are required in order
3 to pass the Gold Standard assessment. Note that s are initially assessed without taking into account mitigation (present or planned). After adequate mitigation are defined, a corrected score (taking into account the mitigation ) shall lead to score of 6 or lower. The project owner may use any type of creditable information to support his statements, including but not limited to scientific report, studies, historic data, pictures, maps, credible websites, aerial imagery, CVs, legal documents, etc. SECTION B. SCORING SYSTEM Unless otherwise stated below, the classification and scoring described in this table applies to all sub;categories. High ( 3): Event is expected to occur once or more in 10 years Medium ( 2): Event is expected to occur once in years Low ( 1): Event is expected to occur less than once every 20 years Not applicable ( 0): Event is expected to not occur during the crediting period of the project High ( 3): Event is expected to fully destroy the products / greenhouse gas benefits, AND Products / greenhouse gas benefits are not expected to recover without intervention. Medium ( 2): Event is expected to harm the products / greenhouse gas benefits, but do not lead to full destruction, AND Products / greenhouse gas benefits are expected to recover without intervention in more than 5 years from the current levels. Low ( 1): Event is expected to harm the products / greenhouse gas benefits, but do not lead to full destruction, AND Products / greenhouse gas benefits are expected to recover without intervention in less than 5 years based on the current levels. High ( 3): Event is expected to affect more than 50 % of the project area Medium ( 2): Event is expected to affect between 5 % and 50 % of the project area Low ( 1): Event is expected to affect less than 5 % of project area Total score if the Multiplication of probability, impact,and scale leads to a score of the project. Min. score: 0 Max. score: 27
4 This score determines the need for mitigation,measure: 7 or higher: Risk not acceptable, mitigation,,obligatory 6 or lower: mitigation, not required, but recommended Depending on the total score, mitigation shall be described. This shall include a description of which s / factor are addressed and a justification on how the s are reduced to a total score of 6 or lower. C.

Project failure due to competing commodities (e.g. palm oil, soya) ID: 5 Market s 5.3. Project failure due to competing infrastructure (e.g.settlements, roads)
14 ID: 6 Other s 6.1. Any other specific project that endangers the viability of the project (e.g. project failure due to crop robbery/illegal timber logging, due to disputes with the cooperative) [1] As Gold Standard does not have a scalable buffer contribution on a project level, the standard needs to set minimum requirements (maximum acceptable ) to ensure that potential losses are covered by the buffer. [2] The break-even point in the cumulative cashflow, relates to the cumulative project revenues (including product sales and carbon credit sales) from the perspective of the project owner minus the cumulative costs of project implementation over time. [3] If a break-even cumulative cashflow is never achieved, the project is not9for-profit and fully depends on external funding/donor support.
